Auckland Council is warning dog owners about the risk of berries from karaka trees. The berries are highly toxic to dogs and consumption can be fatal.
To help you celebrate the 179th Auckland Anniversary, we’ve got a heap of events on offer. Here are some of the fantastic things you can do.
The Auckland Bike Challenge is back for 2019 and partnering for the first time with Variety – the Children's Charity, which gifts bikes and helmets to children in need.

The 60 bait stations and traps are checked every two three months. Depleted or old bait is replaced and activity around each station is noted. Rats mice and possums are the main targets with a few traps set for stoats and weasels. It would appear pest numbers in the park are quite low. Bait in many stations have not been touched. Very few possums have been caught in the park over the last year or so. This is good news for bird life in the park. Tuis are plentiful in the area. fernbirds and californian quail have also been sighted. The latter two are ground nesting and don't thrive if predators are plentiful. Kaka, kingfishers, grey warblers,fantails, waxeyes and various finches make up some of the species present in the park. The morepork was photographed on the boundary of the park last week. The patrol provides a good workout for the volunteers as the traps are scattered along several kilometres of crisscrossing trails. Summer patrols are relatively straightforward but can be a bit more challenging in winter when the tracks become very slippery.
Every year, summer means an influx of Kiwis to beaches, rivers and campgrounds all over Aotearoa. Kiwis love summer – it’s in our DNA – but if we’re honest, we’re not always very good at it. Stay safe with a few tips from Westpac:

- Don’t turn your back to the waves.
- Always take your lifejacket.
- Tell someone when you’ll be back.
- Don’t drive when you are tired.
And remember if you stray too far, the Choppers can help. In the last 12 months, Auckland’s Westpac Rescue Helicopter flew 962 missions keeping Kiwis safe.
Stay safe in Chopper Country.

Students are:
- Between 18 years and 22 years old
- All female
- All Japanese
Homestay period:
Saturday 16 February 2019 to Monday 18 March 2019 for 4 weeks and 2 nights.
We also have 2 students arriving on 9 Sat for 4 weeks, and some other students in March.
They are all from a very strict women's university and their university does not allow them to stay with any single male aged 16 or over even if the male is a family member.
If the host family has any boy (child, relative or homestay student) aged 15 or under, or female in any age while they are staying, it will be no problem at all unless they are Japanese.
The home must be located in North Shore.
All members of the home must use English as a first language.
